hello

Hosting CreativeMornings OC.

I am currently, the Host of CreativeMornings Orange County, where I organize free monthly events for local creatives. I curate speakers, encourage conversations, and craft an inclusive space that celebrates creativity and collaboration, creating a lively hub for creative exchange.

Outside the office, I have an independent creative practice as a digital content producer.
